Judge Myong J. Joun: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. In their Response to Habeas Petition, Respondents acknowledge that the legal issues presented in this petition are similar to those addressed in Hilario Rodriguez v. Moniz, 25-cv-12358. Doc. No. 7 at 1 . I incorporate by reference the reasoning in my September 18, 2025 Order granting bond in the Hilario Rodriguez case, [25-cv-12358 Doc. No. 22, and find that Mr. Juan Carlos Perez-Espinales (“Mr. Perez-Espinales”) is subject to Section 1226(a)’s discretionary detention framework and is thus eligible for bond. The Petition for Writ of Habeas is GRANTED. Respondents are ORDERED to provide Mr. Perez-Espinales with a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) within 10 days of this Order. The Respondents are ENJOINED from denying bond to Mr. Perez-Espinales on the basis that he is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). The Respondents are further ORDERED to file a status report within 24 hours of the bond hearing, stating whether Mr. Perez-Espinales has been granted bond, and, if his request for bond was denied, the reasons for that denial.(SP) (Entered: 12/29/2025)
